New York Primary
SIGNIFICANCE of the New York primary, from the
Standpoint of national politics, is being and will be
over-emphasized by New Deal press-ajrents. in the opin
ion of Robert Ruhl, editor of
who has just returned from an eastern trip that took
him to New York. Mr. Ruhl, however, believes the
election does show that Mr.
of any competitors nationally.
Here are excerpts from
esting discussion of the New lork vote:
The victory of Mayor La Guardla Is a victory tor hon
esty and efficiency In government. It is also a defeat an
overwhelming defeat for Tammany government in Greater
New York i.e.: for dishonest and corrupt government.
Looking forward a bit it may make La Guardia
President of the United States, and It may remove for all
time Tammany Hall as a force not only in New York but
Democratic politics. (This however must be placed under
the heading of counting several barn yards of chickens be
fore they are hatched.)
It marks the political decline of Senator Copeland,
and the exit probably the final one of Al Smith from
the political arena In the state ot New York.
So, all In all, the voters of Greater New York did
rather a good job with their ballot boxes on September
tht 16th.
The significance of the primary, from the standpoint
of national politics, however, has been and will continue
to be overemphasised by the New Deal press saents.
Thousands hundreds of thousands dyed-in-the-wool
Republicans, who detest Franklin D. Roosevelt and all his
works, voted for La Guardia simply because they refused
to vote against honest and conscientious government. It
wasn't that they loved La Guardia so much, but they hated
crookedness and corruption more. They saw a golden op
portunity to knock the tiger for a loop and took It. The
medical senator, therefore, and his issue of anti-New
Dealism, was pretty much lost In the shuffle.
While the New York result has heartened the New
Deal leadership, which has been somewhat shaken in
spirit since the supreme court defeat, it is nevertheless
plain on its face that the election involved a great many
things beside the issue of
Aged Traffic Victims
UNABLE to cope with fast-moving traffic as well as
younger people, the aged die in much greater num
bers as a result of automobile accidents.
Statistics gathered by the Metropolitan Life Insur
ance company show that 17 boys out of every 100,000
between the ages of 1 and 14 die each year; the death
rate among men from 15 to 64 years of age is 42 per
100,000; at ages from 65 to 74 the rate rises to the
high figure of 103 deaths in every 100,000. The situa
tion among women is proportionately the same.
As one might guess, there are a great many pedes
trians among the aged victims. About 75 per cent of
them were walkihg on the streets or highways when
killed. Speed and quick pick-up of automobiles is too
much for those who cannot jump out of the way. Their
hope lies in the courtesy and carfulness of drivers.
Husbands who left home in red hats, telling their
wives to look up the best menu for cooking venison,
may have been taking things a little too much for
granted.
The Investigators haven't told us yet whether Hugo
Black wears a hooded nightie when he goes to bed.

WASHINGTON,
Make no mistake,
moves Mr. R. la
Fsr East meana
Sept. o
these cautious
taking In the
U. S.
policy is being evolved. In the
end it will probably result in the
withdrawal of American marines,
and the American government
Itself, from China.
Officials deny that now. They
have to. The howl that went up
when the president merely sug
gested Americana should get out
or the way ot the bullets was a
pointed notice that evolvement
of policy might be safer than
announcement of It. Aa a matter
of fact. Slate Secretary Hull
later felt constrained to mount
his rostrum and say the l s.
has no intention of surrendering
any righta In China.
But the otf-the-record talk
here la a plain indication the
present policy can lead to no
other conclusion. For example,
you hear authoritatively there Is
only IJ50.UOO.000 of American
Investment In Chins tabout one
tenth of the British). You hear
alao It would cost the govern
ment far more than K'00.000..
000 to protect that property ade
quately in the present situation.
You are Informed this 'would be
taking the money of al tax
payers to protect the foreign in
vestmenta of a few. Clearly, the
controlling officials here, would
like to get 'their hands out of
China. As they cannot now, they
win let things work around to
the point where they cm.
It may take months, or years,
but it will come.
The story hss been flitting
about that one ot Justice Black's
senatorial colleagues went
around the senate and privately
assured doubters the Alabaman
was not a Klanaman. You can
not prove that. (Senators hesi
tate to raise the question of per
sonal veracity. They would do it
if such a statement were ma.le
publicly on the floor but not If It
was made In private conversa
tion. Senators are elanlsh that
way.)
The real explanation ot the
astounding failure of the senate
to Investigate a situation which
even polltlcally-mlnded children
in Washington must have aensed.
seems to be simply this:
The senators privately under
stood Black had been a Klana-
man years aico but had resigned
from th order. They (particu
larly the liberals and the White
House democrats) liked Black's
economic flews and forcibly
prevented wnai tbev thoucht
waa an old obsolete Klan issue
from being; raised against a man
they wanted for economic and
political reasons.

than ballets In some wars. It

Crimean war. and It took a
